Working with the Screenflow

The screenflow is an additional view available from the Editor workspace. The screenflow provides a graphical overview of the entire task or process. The screenflow is automatically updated as elements are added or edited in either the document or the simulation view. Branching is not depicted in the screenflow.

When published in HTML output, the screenflow displays at the beginning of the document and is mapped so that each screen in the flow is hyperlinked to the correlating step in the procedure.
